  1. Why does my computer do a windows shut down randomly?


    I will be doing nothing but on a app such as discord. Then my computer would start shutting down randomly and it doesn't happen everyday. When I check event viewer I see a bunch of warnings and errors leading up to it shutting down one after the other. It's been happening for quite a while now and I've tried everything I could think.

  2. Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

    Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

    Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

    What should be my next step?

    Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.

    Random shut down and restart??

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
    Windows xp

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Why does my computer do a windows shut down randomly? :confused:*Mad Why does my computer do a windows shut down randomly? :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
